Hi Randy. I got one too. I actually saw in the "To" section of the email that he emailed you also. This guy can't even spam correctly.

LOL. Thanks Jim. And that thing looks so cool. I bet it would make one heck of a stump puller. But that thing looks a bit like a toy mockup. Maybe a stump puller for a small yard on a train set?

No the XH-28 was real, and it did fly. Both McDonnell (XHCH-1) and Hughs built prototypes of 'flying cranes' using 'tip-jets' to move the rotors.The Hughs crane did fly, the McDonnell XHCH-1 didn't...Problems were very high fuel usage and noise. However, no transmissions (Chinok has 3), low torque so no tail rotor required...

I read the specs on it, it had a propulsion system on the tip of each blade, I guess in addition to conventional propulsion. The picture you 1st showed had a portion of each blade removed so it threw off me on the looks. They referenced doing full scale mockups for testing purposes, however I researched and saw other angles of the original picture you sent and it had such engine detail that it appears that it was not a mockup. Quite a wild looking helicopter.

Actually, nothing 'conventional' about them. They sent either compressed air or compressed gas up the hollow shaft and on to the rotor tips,they tried gas + after-burners and air only. My son's father-in-law worked on the XHCH-1 in St'Louis...Popular Science mag still thinks this stuff is new?
